An Alternative to the "Honda" generator

We purchased a Yamaha EF2400iS - works very well - quiet, and has no problems running the lights, plus 1 air conditioner, or the convection oven. We run the fridge and water heater on propane.
Used off and on for the past 2 years.
It can also be twinned to provide twice the power.

It's about the same price as the Honda, but offers more usable power.
The Honda is max rated at 2000 watts, 1600 watts continuous
The Yahaha is max rated at 2400 watts, 2000 watts continuous - that's 25% more at continuous.

The Yamaha is heavier - it's 70 pounds.
The engine is quite a bit larger - 171 cc vs 98.5 cc
